The fact is, as long as the organization has cases (people seeking help), then the organization is effective. Of course, it is probably too simple for you to consider that the rate of suicide, or the increase in the rate, is greater the suicide prevention organizations can handle. The increase in suicides reflects the dire situation in the country as opposed to the effectiveness of the organizations. The organizations can only counsel people, they cannot reduce the causes of suicide.
Tola is my brother. Me and he used to pitch marble together.
More nonsense, who knows they could be selling drugs out of the office for all we know. This is not a measure of effectiveness. Suicidal people don't normally go to an outreach in person because of the stigma attached to the disease, they would rather call a hotline and be anonymous. The increase in suicide reflects ineffective outreach such as Tola's organization.
No wonder you try to defend Tola, you and he is buddy friend, so already you are biased in his favor.
So you're saying we can measure the phone calls? Don't be jealous of my relationship with Tola, it is irrelevant. Have you somehow extrapolated that Tola's organization is one of the causes of suicide? It is amusing how you manage to insert that little negative insinuation about drugs. Very sly.
